More About Database Services

Modern organizations depend on reliable data infrastructure to serve citizens effectively. OTS provides fully managed database platforms across industry-standard technologies including SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2 on premises, and Azure, AWS RDS, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cloud solutions. Your team gains access to enterprise-class features like reporting services, integration tools, and analytics platforms without managing the underlying complexity of licenses, hardware, maintenance, or specialized administration. Each database instance operates within OTS's secure, monitored environment with automatic backups and built-in disaster recovery capabilities.

Benefits and Value

  • Professional Database Administration: Dedicated database administrators handle optimization, patching, and troubleshooting, freeing your technical staff to focus on application development and business logic rather than infrastructure maintenance.
  • Comprehensive Platform Licensing: All necessary database software licenses and operating system costs are included in monthly rates, eliminating unexpected license compliance issues and simplifying budget planning.
  • Built-in Disaster Recovery: Automatic failover and backup systems protect your critical data from loss and ensure rapid recovery during system failures, maintaining continuous operations without requiring your team to architect complex redundancy solutions.
  • Multi-Platform Support: Choose from SQL Server, Oracle, and IBM DB2 on-premises, or Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud platforms based on your application requirements, with the flexibility to migrate between technologies as your needs evolve.
  • Enterprise Security Features: Database environments operate within monitored, secure infrastructure with intrusion detection and access controls that meet state security standards, reducing your agency's compliance burden.
  • Advanced Tooling Included: Access reporting services, integration tools, analytics platforms, and development frameworks without additional software procurement, accelerating application development timelines.
  • Scalable Instance Architecture: Customize CPU and memory allocations per database instance with unlimited databases per instance in the new pricing model, optimizing resource utilization and reducing costs for agencies with multiple applications.
  • Cloud Database Options: Modern, cloud-native, fully hosted, scalable database solutions across major cloud providers, including Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud. We manage the "undifferentiated heavy lifting" of database administration—such as provisioning, automated patching, backups, and high-availability configuration—so your teams can focus on application development and data insights. Choose the optimal engine for your mission or leverage a multi-cloud database portfolio with simple, unified billing.

How Do I?

How do I take a screenshot in Windows?

Screenshots are helpful when it comes to showing others what you encountered on your screen. Microsoft provides helpful instructions for making screenshots.

Why are there so many USB-C cables?

USB-C is really about the shape of the connector but they don’t all do the same thing. Some cables can only be used for charging but some can also be used for data.

How do I make my Word documents accessible?

Accessibility means making sure everyone can access information. Microsoft offers helpful instructions on how to do that.

Working with OTS to implement Pitney Bowes Shipping 360 with the PitneyShip Cube has completely transformed LDH logistics operations. The combination of the intuitive Shipping 360 cloud platform and the all-in-one thermal printer/scale (Cube) has drastically reduced our shipping prep time and eliminated inaccuracies in package weights. With the PitneyShip Cube, we no longer need expensive ink since thermal printing makes label creation fast and seamless. Furthermore, Shipping 360 gives us a 360-degree view of all our shipping across various carriers, allowing us to control costs, access better rates, and streamline our overall workflow. I highly recommend this solution to modernize your shipping processes.
